Tickets for Friday's second-round high school football playoff between the Abbeville High Wildcats and the Lutcher Bulldogs will be available in advance at a discount at the Abbeville High School front office.
Tickets are $10 apiece in advance, or $12 at the gate, according to AHS head football coach Roderick Moy.
Tickets may be purchased at the AHS front office during school hours this week.
Lutcher (7-2) is the defending Non-Select Division II state champion. As the No. 4 seed in the playoffs, the Bulldogs had a first-round bye.

Friday night’s wet, dreary weather kept the crowd to a minimum for Abbeville High’s first-round playoff game against Pearl River at Wildcat Stadium.
Temperatures in the lower 60s and upper 50s and a steady rain throughout the game suited the Wildcats just fine, though, as Abbeville rushed for 418 yards in beating the visiting Rebels 34-20.
Many of the Wildcats chose to celebrate their third straight first-round playoff win with impromptu slip-and-slide fun on the field, adding a bit more mud to their already well-saturated red jerseys and white pants.

JENNINGS — The Kaplan High Pirates moved the ball the way they wanted to in the first half of their Non-Select Division II playoff opener at Jennings on Friday, but turned the ball over three times and trailed 21-0 at halftime.
Jennings went on to a 34-6 win over the Pirates, ending Kaplan’s season at 7-4 overall.
